The science of Breaking Bad: Buried

Breaking Bad | Season 5 | Episode 10 | “Buried”

Walt surveys the location for his buried treasure.

It’s time to choose loyalties this week, with everyone save Jesse scrambling to set themselves up for the final confrontation(s). I’m not expecting a lot of science in the latter half of this season – Walt will most likely be too busy.

The coordinates where Walt buries his millions – N34 °59′ 20″ W106° 36′ 52″ – are actually those of Albuquerque Studios, where some of Breaking Bad is filmed.

When Lydia was hiding in Declan’s underground lab, I thought for a moment that we were seeing a flash-forward and it was Walt who had come down to machine-gun these substandard meth cooks. Alas, it was merely Todd and his violent relatives.
